Sorry to point out the obvious, but I think that this game rocks.
I borrowed this game for a few weeks before, and I just didn't get into the game... I got up to the first Oblivion gate and I was just too scared to dare go into the portal, so I just hung around in Citadel City (?) and got my steal and other thieving skills to 99...
I started borrowing it again, and I must say that I'm really really enjoying it...
I always thought I was too weak a character, so I took on the arena, asking a friend if my character could do it, he always said "sure".
I tried the whole arena, and I won it all, it was so easy...
From the Arena, I started the Oblivion gate, and I found it incredibly easy, I have no idea why I was so scared to give it a shot.
I imagined the game as one where I would have to become an amazingly good character, or I would be torn to parts, this is not the case.
I felt proud of myself once I solved the the 4 commentaries, I struggled on it, I actually knew how to find the answer from the start, but I kept telling myself "That's too simple"...
I took the first letter of the first word of every paragraph and sorted them into "Green Emporer Way Where Tower Touches Mid Day Sun"
I figured out the riddle easily enough, first I had to find "Green Emporer Way", I figured out where it was from "Tower" I presumed it was the "White Gold Tower".
I then waited 'till mid day, and I lined up the sun and the tower to find a chamber with a "Map" on it.
That has so far been the most fun I had in the game, all of that riddling...
I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it.
Must play on it more often.
